On what grounds do you place the Ford Territory behind the Toyota Kluger? As an owner of a 2014 Ford Territory Titanium turbo diesel, which I found to be a very reliable and comfortable unit, I did 28,000km travelling around Australia and did not have any concerns or problems with the vehicle. I can't speak more highly of the vehicle and one of the reasons I bought it was to keep production of this vehicle in Australia rather than sending my money overseas for an overpriced import which does not measure up to the Territory.
The Territory was good at first but has been completely overtaken by a range of rivals. Your decision to buy Australian is great but you're in a very small minority and the Territory is no longer a CarsGuide choice for quality or long-term ownership.
